Immigration ban dividing humanity

So let's recap President Trump's executive order on the immigration ban which was enacted for the "safety of our citizens."

How is it helping the nation? Army Veterans are having difficulty returning to their country, chaotic exodus at airports and green card cases closed. Remember the seven countries listed on the ban? They are feared terrorist nations; however let's not forget the countries that are not included in the ban even though terrorists hailed from these countries. The people not allowed into U.S. are part of the president's plan to rid the world of Islamic radical terrorism, yet it's America First.

For years we have not feared the nations, just extremism, and now we have put countries on the list. Without vetting, the people are not allowed into the U.S. For years we have vetted all immigration applications. Now the judicial system is below par, along with our industries, employment, immigration process and schools. Remember however it is America First, and look what has happened since the ban was imposed. These measures are dividing not unifying the nation. Fearing a religion that promotes equality of humankind is in fact dividing humanity.
